Akash has his own small business of travel. He is dedicated towards work but would not earn money by cheating. On Rahul's first birthday Akash gives Mira the permission of inviting her family. At the venue Mira's family comes along and Mira's brother (Manish Wadhwa) insults Akash to the core. This infuriates Akash and he hits Mira's brother. Mira asks Akash to ask forgiveness from his brother which the former refuses. Mira's family forcibly takes her away from Akash. She is also forced to leave behind her son Rahul. Akash and Mira get divorced in the court and fearing that Akash might take her life in absence of Rahul, Mira is forced to give the custody of her only child to Akash, until he is at least 5 years old.

However, he finds out from John uncle (Gulshan Grover) that Mira is very good and that she lives in Mahabaleshwar with her parents. Rahul secretly goes and meets her, after which he finds out that his mother is very loving and caring towards him. Rahul and Mira continue to meet each other secretly. Meanwhile Rahul falls ill quite often, which leads others including the family doctor to suggest that Akash goes for a second marriage with Shiela (Rajeshwari Sachdev). Shiela too cares for Rahul. Akash initially refuses but eventually agrees for the sake of Rahul. Rahul likes Shiela but cannot take her to be his mother.
